Did u put coolant back in the radiator ?when you put the new pump on you want to also drain the radiator and flush the system so its clean and then put new coolant in the radiator then start the car and fill it untill it stayes at the top then you will know that all off the passageways in the motor are full of coolant

SOURCE: changed water pump now my 95 jeep grand cherokee wont start

A 50/50 mix of an ethylene glycol based anti-freeze and water is recommended at all times.

The solution not only has a lower freezing point than water, it has a higher boiling point to prevent overheating.

Year round it acts as a rust preventative.

If you have A/C, it will prevent your heater core from freezing up.

Alcohol or methanol base coolants are specifically not recommended.

But to answer your question specifically:

To start, just water will work.

Check your radiator for external and internal obstructions (leaves, bugs etc on the a/c condenser or leaves between the condenser and radiator, rust or calcium deposits inside the radiator core all cause loss of heat transfer)
Also make sure that the system is full and that the electric fan and the clutch fan are operating properly. (electric fan should come on just above normal operating temp and clutch fan should not be "freewheeling" above temp either)
Note: If you need to have the radiator flushed, do it separately from the engine. especially the inline 6 and 4 engines rust up inside and if the system is flushed with the radiator connected, the debris will pack up inside it and actually can worsen the condition.

1993 grand cherokee loredo----no spark no fuel--changed crank sensor, unplugged cam sensor-did all the dumb stuff--something is killing my fuel and spark....there is no diagnostics plug in it---did the key...

If your jeep's check engine light is sporadic and comes on only once in a while, your ecu is most likely in need of repair. The ecu has to send power to the relays for the fuel pump and ignition systems or the jeep will not start. It also has to pulse the injectors and will not if the check engine light does not show up on the dash, before trying to crank. Try leaving the ignition switch in the run position, for a while, to see if the check engine light does eventually come on. If it lights up, then it's definitely the ecu in need of repair.

Hi
Pop into to your local garage and have a diagnostic test carried out.
Listen to the advise given. It may save you lots of money, especially if you start the "guessing" game.
It does sound like a part may be blocked or failed though, but the sytem needs to be tested thoroughly first.
Good luck

It is possible that it is getting to much fuel to the engine. I would check the fuel filter first though. It may be clogged. Make sure that your battery terminals and your wires are in good shape and there are not no tears. Make sure they are not coming loose after you put them back on. Your fuel pump may be beginning to wear down as well.
